FFS, I'm sitting in my garden just 3 metres away from my laptop. What exactly does Bluetooth have a problem penetrating? Air? Glass? Or does it feel the need to hit the metal frame of my doors and deflect its way to my headphones?

It turned out good in the end, plenty of sunshine now. When that story is in one of the quality papers, post it then and I'll read it. :)

Pressed the button on the ATM to dispense my cash, at the precise moment I pressed the button, a car engine started up behind me. It really freaked me out!!

The standard 12.8% fees are also rather off-putting when selling anything of value.

You're flipping useless Bumfair. Why can't you just switch to unmanaged mode if you can't manage a market? At least we'll be able to get out and move on.

4 O'Clock on a Saturday afternoon and I'm trading a Jordan match that won't start!

Never mind, there's an Uruguayan Segunda Division match about to start. :|

That's the advantage of digital TV. Audio/video out of sync, two goals scored before you've seen the first, but great pictures. :)

Re-booting your box usually fixes it.

Thanks, but no joy there. Just have to suffer it I guess. If only I had the knowhow to delay the pics by a fraction. C'est la vie. Macca later will be slightly out of phase, but then he is 80. :D

Doh it's obviously the sound that needs delaying. By a fraction of a second. My apologies for being utterly pedantic about the synch of audio and video.
